grasp where they come from with their actions.
I still think they were wrong and totaly off track
but now I have somthing to use to try to...
This is one of the things I am sure they were taking out of context, but there was
also somthing about the un clean not being permitted to partake of jesus body and blood or communion as its called in religious christian circles.

I understand your sentiment, I felt the same way for many many years.
Because of that I became a very angry bitter adult, which in turn caused me more
troubles.
As much as I dislike organized christianity, I dont think burning the church or the
molester would bring about anything positive, it...
Between the ages of 12 and16 I was sexualy molested by a member of my
foster family.
when I finaly got the courage to tell, thinking that I would be protected
and the molester would be punished, I got a very distastful experience.
First my foster parents(good christian folk) became angry with...

You can even replace the word Gay with any word you choose(any life style, religion,

christian churches, denominations, and religious circles...
Thanks for your respect, and in turn you deffinatly have mine in return.
I believe you are the one who deserves the most respect here as you are
the one with the toughest battle.
Me, Modern christians just want to see me go away because I challenge
everything they teach, You on the other hand...
I believe because Hes real, I don't need proof of that any more than I need proof that my daughter is real.
As far as following the group and being genuine, I follow no group.
That is why I concider my self a non religious Christian, I dont follow the christian group I follow Christ, my...
You do not have to stop believing in GOD to stop following religion.
I am a Non Religious Christian.
I quit following religion years ago, Religion is the main cause of most
